Gameweek 36 comes to its conclusion as Spurs welcome Watford to Wembley in Monday’s 8pm kick-off.

After Mohamed Salah’s rare blank on Saturday, Harry Kane has the chance to shake up the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) standings tonight.

The second top captain pick (17.84%) for this round of fixtures, Kane was handed the armband by 54 of the top 100 managers heading into Gameweek 36.

He was also the most bought player, earning 241,000 new owners, and is again the top transfer in as the north London side prepare for Double Gameweek 37 clashes against West Brom and Newcastle.

Yet his form is hardly prolific, with just a single goal scored over his last six league outings.

By comparison, the Spurs midfield have been far more reliable.

Christian Eriksen and Son Heung-min have both scored four times over the same period, while Dele Alli has netted on three occasions and also supplied a trio of assists.

The Dane is the most captained of that trio, with 84,608 FPL managers backing him with the armband.

Son could be the big differential. Handed the captaincy by just 32,917 FPL managers, the South Korean international has averaged seven points per home match this season.

Furthermore, he served up two goals and an assist in the corresponding fixture with the Hornets last term.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    De Gea
    Smalling Lascelles Morgan
    Haz Sterling Alli Gross
    Kane Jesus Barnes

    Ryan JWP Tark Lowton
    .5 itb 1ft

    A) Barnes + Tark > Ayew + Mawson -4
    B) Barnes + Tark > Ayew + Danilo -4
    C) JWP > Gundogan

      B to get Morgan out ASAP Danilo could be huge if Walker out

    Ultra smooth last week!

    Mahrez (2) & Firmino (2) out -4 for:
    Tadic (15) & Kane (6)

      Need to know rest of your team, have any city players?

      1. Eden Wizard
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Why is that? Only Jesus mate, took Sterling out on WC32 and he's gone mental since haha

  3. mrpink32

    Best midfield punt 6.9 or below

    Have tadic gross already
    -ayew (no form)
    -ramsey (rotation)

    Any others?
    Thanks!

    Bottomed.

    I am BB this in GW37.

    Ederson

    Smalling Naughton Van De Hoorn

    Salah Eriksen Sterling Arnautovic

    Kane Jesus Austin

    Lloris Kenedy Lejeune Dummett

    Would you get rid of Salah for another double? Pogba?

    1 FT 0.0 ITB

    1. Teddy Brewski
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Nope. I'd do absolutely nothing mate. Ideally you'd move on one of your newcastle bench defenders but there is nobody better for 4.3 or below

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Very nice team would only lose Salah for another city which you can’t do so all set

  5. Eden Wizard

    That Albrighton red card should be a godsend for my BB37 team with Simpson in! Pray4

      2pts extra then

      1. Eden Wizard
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Lol could be! Was hoping for 2*2

    2. agueroooooney
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Is he suspended for both games? FPL just says he's suspended for the first

      1. Eden Wizard
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Common misconception and FPL towers problem. That's the date at which his flag will be removed so, 2 game ban...

        1. Eden Wizard

    37 points behind. I have TC he’s used all chips. My team:

    De Gea*
    Cedric Christiansen Chilwell* Monreal
    Sterling* DSilva* Lingard Salah*
    Lukaku Kane

    *stands for opponent has in team.

    Thoughts on: Lukaku, Salah, Christ > Jesus, Alli, Alonso (-4) He has Davies.

    I think Spurs-and kane's- lacklustre performances are because they all know Pocchetino is leaving after this season.

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Oh yeah? Where to?

      1. boc610
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        madrid would take him in a heartbeat. look at his comments in the recent weeks, he's has mentioned not being a spurs and the project continuing without him 2 or 3 times at press conferences

        1. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Be sad for Spurs to lose him because that team will break up.

          1. boc610
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            it was always going to happen, i think they has a short window to win something and keep the squad together and thats passed now. there will be a massive bid for kane over the summer and I think he will definitely leave, and pocchetino could follow. all those players will be looking at kyle walker and seeing the sense in what he did.

    2. Lukakke
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      100% agree about Spurs but Harry "it hit my shoulder, honestly" Kane will be chasing the golden boot like it was his job. The question is do the rest of them care enough to dig out a couple of performances lol

    1. #Swish41
      • 16 Years

      Willian > Sterling for sure

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years

      Yes all good play dumb over Morgan

  18. #Swish41

    Retained my ML lead by a point thanks to the advice here. Mahrez/Lukaku > Sterling/Jesus definitely a WIN! Cheers

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Well done but not because of me I suggested to keep lukaku 🙂

      1. #Swish41

        🙂 - could easily have gone the other way....FPL at least 25% luck

  20. FatmanAndRobin

    8 years, 1 month ago

    Who to TC.. Chasing rival but probably out of reach at this stage. 62pts ahead but rival doesnt have Kane. He does have Jesus and Sterling but has also used his TC.

    A) Jesus
    B) Kane
    C) Sterling
    D) Eriksen

    1. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…

      Kane unless he has the funds to get Kane in this week in which case sterling or jesus

  21. Bleh
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    What to do with Otamendi. Does he start both games or should I be taking a -4 hit to get him out for Smalling/Vert/Azpi etc.

    1. #Swish41
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      coin toss. probably falls in the don't buy don't sell category

  22. champ20ns

    Hi all,

  23. Ajax Hamsterdam

    Salah Willian Sterling Arnie
    Kane Jesus Tarroll

    Ederson Lowton Tomkins Tarroll

    Playing BB
    Already went -8
    2.2 itb

    Any of these worth -12 ?

    A Tarroll to Tadic
    B Willian to Alli
    C Lowton to Smalling/ Bavies

    1. Ask Yourself

      Who’s third striker? Nothing else to change

      1. jimmy.floyd

        Ayew

  25. DAVESAVES
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Sterling IN.
    Mahrez, Willian or Son OUT?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Willian

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Willian by miles !!

    3. #Swish41
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      ANy of them..but Mahrez has been poor for weeks.

  26. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Who would you guys keep out of Mahrez or Willian?

    1. Lukakke
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Depends who you're bringing in - Mahrez definitely sacrificeable if you need the dollar. Would probably keep Willian.... Chelsea/Liverpool could be a goalfest, both sides have something to play for

  27. Lukakke
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Silva --> Arnautovic for free? Have Sterling and Jesus, but feel like City could go crazy in both games

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      You are selling Silva ?

    2. #Swish41
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Seems an odd choice. Must have a great team if this is your only problem!

    3. Lukakke
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      De Gea
      Chilwell / Alonso / van der Hoorn
      Sterling / Salah / Son / Silva
      Kane / Jesus / Austin

      (Mariappa / Gudmundsson / Long)

      22 points clear in ML, have a feeling rival will bring Arnie in for Willian so would be a defensive move. Maybe I'm being paranoid about Silva game time

  28. aidmata
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Mahrez Salah and Alonso --> KDB, Sterling and Otamendi? (-8)

    Have no City cover (I know) and chasing ML leader who has Jesus and Sterling.

    1. #Swish41
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Sane over KDB for me. Not sure A>O will pay off either, but depends if you are chasing/leading/anything to play for etc

  29. hustler7
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Team for this weekend:

    De Gea
    Vertongen Cedric Chillwell
    Sterling Gross Willian Kennedy Salah
    Jesus Kane

    Ryan Barnes Lowton Morgan

    1FT and 1.4 ITB. Who should I look to transfer? Maybe Willian to Pogba or Ramsey?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam

      Definitely no

    2. #Swish41
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      errr no
